Writing - Basic Sentence Structure Must-Knows
Take ALL students through a sentence structure right-of-passage with these key writing must-knows about:
- Basic sentence structure.
- Basic punctuation.
Ensure everyone is on an even playing field with that basic knowledge secured to nip issues in the bud. THEN, build onto this knowledge base as the year progresses.
This is something I'll be getting all my classes to work through (from years 9 to 13) at the beginning of every year! This could also be suitable for intermediate school students.
This resource includes:
⭐ One student booklet (editable - 11 pages).
⭐ An accompanying teacher slideshow to help you take your students through the booklet.
You and your students will enjoy:
❤️ Small steps to scaffold learning.
❤️ Info-graphics to help with understanding.
❤️ Short activities to practice learning.
❤️ Clickable navigation, editability, printability...all the cool things.

Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
- Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
- Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
- Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair I think! Let's help each other out. :)
Reviews
It was great to finally find something about simple sentence structures in one place. For example, explaining to my junior English class that you could begin a sentence in interesting ways was easier when I showed them the preposition and adverb starts from this resource. Suddenly, their work was more interesting to read. "Show don't tell" works!
